What went wrong for him? Joe Cole questions Chelsea’s decision to part with Romelu Lukaku in light of their ongoing inability to score goals against Brentford.
Joe Cole doesn’t know why Chelsea let Romelu Lukaku to depart the team after Brentford’s home game results showed that they were still struggling to score goals.
The Blues’ four-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge as they fell 2-0.
Chelsea has scored 13 goals in 10 league games this season. Despite Nicolas Jackson leading the line effectively against the Bees, it was ineffective.
Despite having already spent over £1 billion on players since taking over last year, Chelsea may consider buying another striker in January, as Armando Broja is their only viable option up front.
Two of the few players that might still be available in the middle of the season are Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. Cole, a former Chelsea player, believes that the team had a trustworthy candidate in the summer who was fired.
Lukaku made a £97 million return to Chelsea in 2021. He returned to Italy in August and signed a season-long loan with Roma.
Cole finds some of the calls made in west London confusing, despite the Belgian’s eight goals in ten appearances for the Giallorossi.
The team uses a lot of terms, yet we are still unable to score goals. To TNT Sport, Cole stated.
“No matter what he did wrong, Romelu Lukaku was in the door.” He excelled at Inter Milan and scored goals in this nation for Everton and West Brom. So why was he unable to perform that at Chelsea? What went wrong for him?
Now he’s setting goals for Roma. This implies that we must ask ourselves what is currently wrong with this club.
“I have absolutely no issues with the manager.” I even don’t blame the players for whatever that he and his crew are capable of doing. They are all extremely excellent.
“There’s a serious problem with the club right now, and the team doesn’t have enough of anything.”
